CVE 8.1 HIGH

Budibase auth session cookies are set with httpOnly:false — any XSS can lead to full account takeover_CVE-2026-42239

8.1 / 10
HIGH
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N

Description

Budibase is an open-source low-code platform. Prior to version 3.35.10, the budibase:auth cookie containing the JWT session token is set with httpOnly: false at packages/backend-core/src/utils/utils.ts:218. JavaScript can read this cookie via document.cookie. This means every XSS becomes a full account takeover — the attacker steals the JWT and has persistent access to the victim's account. The cookie also lacks secure: true (sent over plaintext HTTP) and sameSite attribute. This issue has been patched in version 3.35.10.
